Who are the top 10 midfielders in the league?

[Substance]

Clearances are the only thing that stands out when looking at JOM's stats. 0 goals and 0 goal assists in 5 games? Not close to top 10 in my opinion.

 

[Iceman!]

So if a Brownlow winner retires at the end of the year they are still top 10 the following year?

Surely current form matters.

Mate come on...

Of course current form matters but is Dusty no longer a top 10 mid in the game if he starts a season with a quiet month? Of course not.

Surely the previous season has to come in to it somewhat.

 

[phantom13]

Surely what was done last year doesnt matter.

Does Neale start with 5 extra Brownlow votes ?

In the 5 games this year Walsh is well ahead of Cripps. And JOM would be in the top 10.

If last year doesn’t matter why would last week matter? Just base it on the last game, better yet, last quarter.

Sustained excellence is pretty important in judging of these things

He is still kicking a goal a game and getting 25 possessions.

He may not be at his peak right now but his peak is off the charts.

Oh yes of course, i didn't mean he was having a poor start. Just hypothetically if clearly the best player in the game has a quiet start to the year are they no longer top 10 just because of 4 weeks of footy?

Based purely off the first 5 games off this year and forgetting all reputation i am sure you can find quite a few players that have been better than Dusty so far this year, does that mean he is not a top 5 mid in the game? Of course not because he has shown over recent years what a star he is.

Even as a dees supporter, Oliver is a far better centre clearance player than petracca. yes petracca hits the scoreboard and can rest forward but as purely a mid, oliver is better.

 

[Saints_Man]

In no order: Dusty, Fyfe, Bont, Dunkley, Macrae, Oliver, Neale, Merrett, Steele, Boak.

Danger and Petracca stiff.

 

[Saints_Man]

Danger and Petracca stiff.

Yeah, those two just missed the cut for me, would be 10-12 I think.

I know that won't be a popular choice especially on the East Coast but the guy has always been skilled, reliable, and a super kick.
This year at age 35 he has taken it to another level.
It's not all about stats this guy nearly always makes the right choices and delivers with pin point accuracy.

Dusty does more with less

Dusty is a weapon, few players can do as much damage with so little

what Petraccas body of work over the last 18 months isn't enough?

[Sherrinator]

Don’t envy us.

Reality is without debate-

Top 10- Bont, Macrae
Top 20- Dunkley, Treloar, Libba

Except Treloar and Libba, good list

 

[Pomsta]

Opposition coaches wouldn't give a toss if Tom Mitchell had it 30 times.

Hardwick didn't care when Neale had it 50 times. Does this mean he is crap?

People rate Petracca more for the same reason they rate Bontempeli above Macrae. They are capable of having 30 touches and 3 goals in a game and it not being a one off fluke.

Petracca has never done that.

He'll do it more than once this year IMO

 

[00Stinger]

Petracca has never done that.

Good thing you guys over looked him for a KPF with pick number 1 then, isn't it?

I am happy for him to continue having 25+ & 2 more than every second week

Oliver is more of a kill you by a thousand cuts, whereas Petracca can tear a game apart with 20 touches

Ditto with Bont and Macrae

what Petraccas body of work over the last 18 months isn't enough?

No rationale behind it but I just don't like Petracca. For some reason he rubs me up the wrong way.

Regardless, I don't know how anyone can argue that he isn't top 10. Oliver is also thereabouts.

You defensive enough? Petracca is obviously a star. No ones doubting that. Someone said he’s rated high because he gets 30 touches and three goals in games sometimes. He’s literally never done that. It doesn’t mean he isn’t a good player, he just hasn’t done that.
